I am so excited to announce that La Roche  has won both the
"2020 Best of the Best - Castle Rock/Castle Pines Dance Studio/Company"
AND the "2020 Best of Castle Rock Awards - Dance School"!
The Castle Rock Awards Program recognizes local small businesses that enhance and have a positive impact on their community. The Best of the Best award, presented by Colorado Community Media, is voted on by community members such as our studio families.

What an honor! Thank you so much to our wonderful dancers, staff, and dance families
that help make La Roche our 2nd home!
Here's to another great year of creating family and friends through the art of dance!

​
Our Mission


At La Roche Academy of Dance, our mission is to bring the art of dance
to students of all levels through a supportive environment promoting
confidence, self-accomplishment, and physical well-being. 

We strive to inspire each dancer to reach their highest potential while developing
their dance technique, discipline, and artistic expression.
 
Through quality training and structure, we hope to pass on our passion as
our students become a part of the world of dance.  
 

Meet our Instructors!

All of our dance instructors have collegiate dance education and training.
Many of our instructors are also past or current professional dancers, dancing as members of professional ballet, modern, and contemporary companies both locally and abroad.
